Five Year Coma Dream & The Disgusting Truth About Space

What if you woke up from a month-long coma with five years of memories from a future that hasn't happened yet? Kat and Jethro explore the extraordinary story of Rubí, a young Mexican woman who claims she lived an entirely different life while unconscious in a hospital in 2025. In her experience, time continued normally until 2031, in a technologically advanced world where Mexico had become a global powerhouse and people were actually spending less time staring at their phones. But when she suddenly returned to 2025, she found herself grieving a life that everyone insisted had never happened. Was it an elaborate coma dream, an alternate reality, or something we don't yet understand about consciousness and time? Then we're heading 250 miles above Earth to discover the surprisingly disgusting realities of living aboard the International Space Station. From floating tears and recycled urine to wet burps, questionable underwear experiments, and the disturbing etiquette of removing your socks in zero gravity, astronaut life is considerably less glamorous than NASA's recruitment materials might suggest. Two journeys beyond ordinary reality. One through time, the other through space. Both raise some deeply uncomfortable questions about what happens to the human body when things get weird. It's the strange, the bizarre, and the unexpected. It's The Box of Oddities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
